Peacocks Need Protection From HUMAN Predators

A Photo Blog Posted by: ViewFinder 9/2/2012

On a "fun family adventure" this afternoon we wandered in the entrance of the Tracy Aviary found on the South West side of Liberty Park in Salt Lake City. The foliage and the fowl were all stunningly beautiful... the human predator... NOT SO LOVELY!

Despite my MULTIPLE attempts to get this young boys attention he refused to discontinue his harrassment of this beautiful bird.

After yelling at him a minimum of three times, (once screaming at him to "put the stick down RIGHT NOW!") I finally asked the other boys he was with, where their parents were. Around the corner enjoying the site of vulturs tearing apart their pre-killed mice, were the parents of this young predator. As I approached I asked the woman if the boy in the blue shirt was her son... jokingly she responded... "depends on what he has done". I did not find the humor and explained he was stalking, chasing, and threatening the peacock and if they did not find a way to make the boy stop I would find someone who would!

According to the Tracy Aviary website these birds are content to remain free roaming and fully flighted wherever they have adequate food and protection from predators, such as at Tracy Aviary.

"Protection from predators, such as at Tracy Aviary." I find this statement inappropriate.

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like

Cult Books: One Good, One Terrible

I’ve finished writing a new novel (stay tuned for details) in which the massacre at Jonestown in November 1978 plays a pivotal role. Both to research it and because the phenomenon interests me, I’ve read more than a few books on cults and cultic ideology over the last year.

God, Power, Fear, and Donald Trump

Posted on 11/23/2019 by the Salt City Sinner What does it mean to love God, what does it mean to love power, and what does it mean to love Donald Trump? Are these separate questions, or have they become scrambled together? Given that 81% of Evangelicals voted for Trump , it’s safe to conclude that the latter is the case. Unpacking the tangled webbing of fear, greed, superstition, and credulity that binds white Evangelicals to Donald J. Trump, the most profane and libertine President in United States history, will be the project of generations. Religious conservatives didn’t get here overnight, and it’s an odd place for them to have arrived at, but the journey isn’t as mysterious as it might seem at first glance. A good place to start is Believe Me: the Evangelical Road to Donald Trump , by John Fea . Fea’s book is an attempt to answer these questions in a serious way, and from the standpoint of one who shares many of the values and presuppositions of the average parish
